Default Debris getting into cavity between wheel well and door

Hi everyone. We have a 991.1 cab that we bought to use as a daily driver. Unfortunately, it has to sit outside and we live in a wooded area with lots of Tulip Poplar trees. If you're familiar with these trees, they send down helicopter-like seed pods that are able to wiggle their way into tight spaces.

These are the seeds..

The Tulip Poplar seeds have evolved to work their way into everything!


We're noticing that they are working their way into the body between the wheel well and the door through the trim along the front of the door jamb.

I made a video and uploaded it to show what I'm talking about:

Was thinking about buying a very porous foam to stick in there which would allow water through but not the tree debris - anyone else had this problem? Any ideas for solutions are welcome!

Get a car cover or chop down the trees or build a garage

i would try pressured air. Some carwashes here have airguns to blowdry the car here. Maybe you find those too in your area? Or buy one?
